Luyện nghe bài hát Ubaba Akalele

Ubaba akalele (my is not at peace)

nomfo' kasibiya izolo
(I met up with yesterday)
Wathi "we-jonathan, angiphathekile kahle
(he said, "jonathan, I am in a bad way)
Ngiphupha ubaba ongasekho ekhomba inkomo
(I dream of my late father at his ox)
Ngikhumbula engitshela ethi "wemfana
(and I remember him me -- "my boy
Uma kulomhlaba wemfana wami
(on the day I pass away and leave earth)
ukungifihla ngebokisi (x3)
(do not me in a coffin)
Wemfana
(my boy)
Awungebesa ngesikhumba emhlophe, wemfana wami
(you should bury me wrapped in the skin of a ox, my boy)
ngenkomo emhlophe
(you should send me on my journey by means of a white ox)
Inkomo, kababa, wo-ye-ye-ye!
(the ox, the ox of my father....)

Akalele ubaba
(father is not at at home)
Akafuni ibokisi, ufuna
(he not want a coffin, he wants an ox)
Akalele ubaba
(father is not at home)
Washo mfokasibiya wathi "jonathan lalela
(sibiya continued saying, "jonathan, here.)
Ngokushona kwenzeka isimanga
(on the day my died a most unfortunate thing happened)
Abantu bomndeni babethi
(our thought they would give hima great sendoff)
Bamfihla ngebokisi
(and buried him in a coffin, knowing he did not want this)
Saxabana thina sodwa (x2)
(we among ourselves, we the members of the family)
Saxabana ngoba mina bayasithela ngebadi
(we argued because I they had done something which would bring great
Misfortune)
ngelelolanga sifihla ubaba
(it was difficult the day we my father)
ngelelolanga
(it was difficult day)

Ubaba akalele ekhaya, isibaya
(father is not at at home, his spirit wanders around the cattle
Enclosure)
lakhe selimbophile
(it feels by the coffin)
Ufuna isikhumba senkomo (x2)
(his spirit still wants to be by his ox)
